Male GSers look in

Any men here getting married in Pakistan using the whole pakistani wedding setup?

Do you actually care much about the whole wedding setup, do you anticipate you will enjoy dancing, jooth chapai and all that crap? Or is it just a few days stress for you?

Do you actually see the difference between all the brides clothes, jewellery etc??

I would love to know that!

Re: Male GSers look in

Will be getting married in Pak. It will be jihad for me :D since I do not want any kind of culture crap at my wedding. Only simple nikkah at the masjid and a small dinner for close family and friends. No jhuta chupai crap, no dancing/music, no stage, nothing of that crap.

Re: Male GSers look in

I am with CP on this one. although that is not what happened.
I basically told everyone my preferences but was really not too bothered about the clothes the menu the location the music the rasms.

the key was getting married to someone I love and having my friends and family around to share the moment

rest was not important.

Re: Male GSers look in

I don't care much for all that either, I'd rather take that money and invest it on a house or my education. I don't see the point of spending 1000's of your parents money for some hours of the day.

I know it asked for male perspective but I am glad there are others who don't give a dam!

Re: Male GSers look in

I love this thread! Please do share, I would love to get in site on what you guys are thinking when it comes to all this wedding stuff. It'll help me understand what my fiance is thinking about all of it too... As much as we get along amazingly and have never fought mashallah se, there's something about our wedding, where we just can't come to see eye-to-eye on most of the issues. What were your own thoughts on all of it? Was there ever tension between you and your significant other regarding wedding related issues?

Re: Male GSers look in

Great thread! I would love to see more male input in this forum.

Re: Male GSers look in

Although most of the guys dont think too much about that but they dont mind going with some festivity as it means a lot to the bride. As much as I am with CricketPlaya on what he is planing to do, I wonder what bhabhi (his wife) must be wanting to do instead.

With some moderation, I think everything looks good.

:D abi se mind set kardya unka b

insh'Allah we'll be successful. no doubt there will be family up for a fight... we'll take care of em!

Re: Male GSers look in

But you do approve of a bridal outfit and makeup for her? Right?

no, i ordered her to be in burqa all the way thru until we reach home.

i m joking. :D

of course, dress she choses, she's smart enough. it's her shaadi afterall lol

He makes bhabhi wear burqa on her wedding day and he has to wear one for the rest of his life to hide his tootay hua'i daant :D

Re: Male GSers look in

Interesting, I have come to the conclusions that Pakistani culture seems to stick so much emphasis on "shaadi" it's like they save up all their lives to spend money on this one thing.

I have other hobbies to spend money on too, so I can think of much better ways to spend the money.

There are what 6/7/8 functions, how much celebrating is needed for 1 occasion? It just becomes one massive watered down affair with little meaning to each function rather than one really nice meaningful function.
